Alain Margot : 2014
I am Femen
Oxana is a woman, a fighter, an artist. As a teenager, her passion for iconography almost inspires her to join a convent, but in the end she decides to devote her talents to the Femen movement. With Anna, Inna and Sasha, she founds the famous feminist group which protests against the regime and which will see her leave her homeland, Ukraine, and travel all over Europe. Driven by a creative zeal and a desire to change the world, Oxana allows us a glimpse into her world and her personality, which is as unassuming, mesmerising and vibrant as her passionate artworks. A film on feminism, on protest, on the opposition to a government which no longer has anything to offer, and of the difficulties of living in a society which bases itself exclusively on corruption. It is also an intimate portrait of a group of women who are searching for their paths in life, in a world which rejects them and refuses to listen. Alain Margot's documentary was winner of the Jury Award when it premiered at Visions du Réel 2014.
